Well for starters, that's probably b/c when Jesus said that He was talking about the Second Coming & not the rapture for one.
I love these armchair bible scholars that quote the word so "matter of factly" when a plain reading of the text says otherwise.
(BTW I am not a Campite)
Here's Jack Kelly's take on "No man..." & "Like a thief..."
No One Knows The Day Or The Hour | GraceThruFaith
It seems ironic to me that Jesus would chastise the Pharisees for not knowing the signs of the seasons, (Matt 6:1-3) yet whenever someone tries to do just that (I'm obviously not speaking of Camping) they get mocked.
Personally, seeing as how Crucifixion week happened during the spring feasts, and how the church was born during Pentecost, (Feast of Weeks), I don't see why so many consider it such a faux paus to believe that the rapture may very well happen on the Feast of Trumpets.
The irony of it happening on that day however,(Rosh Hashannah) is that that day IS a day that no man knows the day or hour. That it takes two witnesses to declare the start of it, and that it is the ONLY Jewish feast that happens on a New Moon.
Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
1st Thess 5:4-6 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
But please, don't let my posting of scripture stop you from your righteous indignation.
Posting ones opinion= interesting (sometimes)-NOT
Posting scripture= PRICELESS
Thank you for this post.
I am constantly amazed at thread after thread, self proclaimed christians post opinion after opinion, even in the face of clear scripture that says otherwise.
It just goes to show you, even most christians don't let the truth of Gods Word interfere with their personal reasonings and experience.
Peace...
